I grew up in Wichita and it was a capital crime to call the Ar..Kansas river the Arkansas(W) river.

Wow. A relative of mine emailed it to ME today.
Guess it's going around. It is great, though.

I'm sick of it!


So am I! It's crazy to pay stupid lazy people to breed. All you get is more stupid lazy people you'll have to support. I say end welfare. We don't need welfare when illegal immigrants can find jobs.

Razz, these stories are almost unbelievable.

I had until recently been a small businessman since Naval retirement -- literally risking everything on the success or failure of my judgment and sustained 80 plus hour weeks -- often, month after month with no break whatever. Just to assure a reasonable chance of success for the venture.

It makes my skin crawl to think we have such despicable creatures living in our midst -- drawing as a matter of right on my tax dollars...year after year!!

Don't feel like the lone ranger. Sometimes I think I'm the only one not receiving a government handout.
Thanks, for your service to our country. I just wish there were more people here worth your trouble.

Funny thing about those food stamps; they taste just like paper.

I believe they now use EBT (electronic bank transfer) cards instead of stamps. Got to protect the esteem of the welfare recipients you know. As Neal Boortz calls them....Push Button Pirates or Electronic Plunder.

A little off topic, but if you live anywhere in a "hurricane prone" area, and don't have hurricane supplies on hand, I'd suggest you stock up now.

After this big storm, and the devastation witnessed on TV, people will freak out if a storm is headed your way and the stores will be a madhouse.

You could save yourself a lot of headaches if you anticipate this, and just do your stocking up now, instead of waiting to hear if a storm is headed your way.

No wonder many of them look like prize hogs. Kennedy and Jesse want US to feel responsible for the poverty of these freeloaders. It would help them to join society if they demonstrated a little civilized behavior.

They are called Oregon Trail cards in our state. That is really what Title on the cards read.

Damn it, what on earth is WRONG with these "people", anyway??????????

I swear that the welfare state has created a class of sociopathic monsters.

Several years ago, while working as a window clerk at the main post office in town, I got to see one of these 'feeding frenzys' first hand.

There was a rumor being spread that a class action suit had been filed and settled against a manufacturer of baby formula and all you had to do to get your share of the free money was to mail in a copy of your baby's birth certificate. We heard that the monetary awards were anywhere from $1500 to $25k!

The majority of these women were black and from the inner-city. They were also wearing leather coats, had their nails professionally done and driving vehicles far better than mine. (And I'm pretty sure none of them had ever actually paid for baby formula as it is free through WIC and other Gov't. programs.)

This went on for 2 weeks and as the deadline grew closer, the crowd got uglier and ruder (and I'm being polite in the description). People were actually express mailing (about $12 at the time)their copies. By time I left work Friday night, I was seething (which is not normal for me). I spent the better part of the weekend being pissed off at the system and down-right wrongness of the situation.

When I got to work Monday, we found out that the whole refund thing was a hoax. I couldn't stop smiling all day!!

"They are called Oregon Trail cards in our state. That is really what Title on the cards read."

In Maryland they're called "Independence" cards. An oxymoron to make sure the morons' don't suffer from low self esteem. And they are usually over 200 lbs. (Thats the women!)

Rumor has it that there are openings as bus drivers, but you'd have to ask the Mayor.

Scuba gear optional...

Government created dependence gone bad. Socialists want to continue the experiment on a much grander scale.

Welfare queens gone wild - coming to theaters soon.

I resent that. I live in Mississippi and I work hard and so do most of the people in this state. Quit stereotyping us just because we have a bunch of welfare recipients in the Mississippi Delta.
